We are feeling generous today and would like to offer you a unique opportunity to get some of our fair trade photos for free! It’s been 3 years now that we are travelling the world to meet fair trade producers and gather their stories. Our photos have been used by several fair trade retailers and campaigners to illustrate the work that they are doing with the producers and to promote their products. It’s no secret that images are super important today to catch your audience’s attention and get them to click on your content. By giving these photos away we would like to contribute to the global fair trade movement by helping organizations, big and small, tell their stories with great visuals. If you like what you see we invite you to browse through our video and photo library. To receive the photos send us an e-mail at ronny@fairtradeconnection.org and we will send you a download link. Enjoy! Read More »
